Texas Democrat James Talarico answers voter questions at CNN town hall
James Talarico appeared alone on stage to answer questions from voters during a CNN and Jubilee hosted event in Texas on Wednesday evening.
Voters question faith and policy
Several undecided attendees grilled the candidate on contentious issues including the war in Gaza, abortion rights, and foreign aid. One small business owner challenged Talarico regarding a past comment describing God as nonbinary, to which he admitted being provocative at the time. Another attendee asked how he would protect innocent lives given his pro-choice stance, prompting him to describe abortion as a public health issue.
Candidate frames race as moderate
Talarico argued that he and his opponents share the same public policy goals despite having different moral conclusions on specific ethical questions. He stated that his approach prioritizes the needs of Texans over partisan divisions during this closely watched Senate race.
